Merit Researcher, Head of Division

Summary

I am a systematic evolutionary biologist conducting collections-based research that aims to document and understand the taxonomic, phenotypic and genetic diversity of vertebrates. The three groups of organisms that are the focus of my research are caecilian amphibians, (mostly burrowing) snakes, and Triassic archosauriforms.

Kamei RG, Wilkinson M, Gower DJ, Biju SD (2009) Three new species of striped Ichthyophis (Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Ichthyophiidae) from the northeast Indian states of Manipur and Nagaland. ZOOTAXA, 26 - 42.

Giri V, Wilkinson M, Gower DJ (2003) A new species of Gegeneophis Peters (Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Caeciliidae) from the Western Ghats of southern Maharashtra, India, with a key to the species of the genus. Zootaxa, 351 : 1 - 10.
